So to the report of reports and review of reviews, the designers newest collections unveiled at Paris Fashion Week for A/W 2013-14. The clothes designers will show the new clothing available and i will talk and discuss or type and write about the fashions, inspiration behind the designs and what the clothing lines have to offer, how will this translate to the high street shops so shoppers can shop for some garments knowing what the designer collection has in mind, what will it be buy or sell or which designer will become the next big craze, and what has he or she or they created. A Monster.

Reports from the Paris Fashion Week Show for Men & Menswear Collection, also pictures and photographs of designers clothes and garments, which are the must have's or new and important designers creations who will stand out for the right correct reasons. The photos i choose will hopefully give a an insight into the designers collection for this Autumn Winter 2013 2014 Paris Fashion Week Menswear Show.


Designers at Paris Fashion Week for Men A/W 2013 2014.



CARVEN.
Carven at Paris Fashion Week Men.
In the French capital Paris is Carven's Autumn Winter 2013 2014 clothing collection being displayed, and a display it certainly was. The designer had the clothes on a scenery which was life-like in that the feel of the runway catwalk show was as if you were looking and watching these people, actually models whilst they were at work in the office, maybe in a tall city skyscraper with floor to ceiling glass windows, as though in a real world situation, in a outside of the fashion world kind of way. The display of clothes by fashion designer Guillaume Henry for fashion house brand label Carven was channeled to a day in the life of the suited city businessman — on the subway train journey and at the office — for his fall-winter 2013-2014 fashion show. The set office, with a bare desk, filing cabinet and an old-fashioned phone and contacts folder nicely set off Henry's elegant, retro 1950s suits for his menswear preview exibition in Paris.
In Carven's fantastical world, these were no ordinary businessmen: Many of the models were also decked out for mountain expeditions.
Henry has, it seems, not forgotten his trademark sense of humour. A suit jacket was complemented with a worked flannel hood while a fleece collar was added to an office-going overcoat.
His palette of colour included mottled greys, navy and camel contrasted with bright sporty colours like red, green and royal blue.
His men's office wardrobe also saw traditional fabrics like mottled flannel, banker stripes and oxfords spruced up with neoprene and technical fabrics. A suit pant — daringly for winter — was cut to mid-calf in length, rather short for the cold.
Fashion show realism can sometimes be cruel. No doubt to evoke the busy metro journey to Paris' business district of La Defense, Henry made all his spectators stand squish squash together like people on public transport. It all made for much real-life grumbling. Excuse Me !
On the runway catwalk, too, models were so convincing in evoking the concentrated businessman on his way to work that one actually walked straight past, forgetting to pose for the cameras, hey ho it's off to work we go.

VALENTINO.
Valentino at Paris Fashion Week Men.
The Autumn Winter 2013 2014 Valentino clothing collection at Paris fashion Week for Men was in keeping with the darkness of these seasons nights, the Valentino clothes collection arrived on the runway catwalk in mostly black but there were also greys and then the mix between, or i should say using the two, check. The clothes were of classic Valentino dress wear teamed together with attire which rose not only up the trouser leg but to the occasion. Suits which were classic's single breasted and also classic double breasted suit's gracing the spendid show.
Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli have returned to the classics for Valentino menswear Fall Winter 2013 2014. Valentino made clothing a dynamic luxury that made the collection a total hit. In fact, they’re keeping comfort with an extra high-tech, offered by their precise pieces that highlight the remarkable craftsmanship of British tailoring. Valentino pristine and elegant. With palpable echoes of savile-row with accentuated waist and rigid finish on the suiting, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli deep themselves onto the experimentation of fusing luxe and comfort, the two elements that have made their work successful during the past seasons collection . The designers revamping the look inside-out. Valentino demonstrate that what is functionally vigorous on the inside, will empower always on the outside. Denoting always the signature sartorial aesthetic, the absolute statement was delivered with a juxtaposition of elegance. From textiles to finishes, there’s a couture garb to these clothes.For the runway catwalk collection, Valentino presented, the belted coat fully coveted with camouflage tone-on-tone print, has a light hand-bonded cashmere lining in the inside or some silk wool suits that have hand-stitching details. Laser bonding its their best friend, this time besides having bonded linings, they also feature black leather horizontal bands bonded on the mid-waist exterior of the capes and mostly on the outerwear. At the show valentino sends camouflage pattern which continues to be a graphic-theme of excitement at Valentino shows this time its delivered in coats via houndstooth prints, and once again in sweaters streamlined with a dapper dude casual-side, with a suit in full Tartan, a matching cape and a forest green leather coat with tartan lining. Inner quilting to embrace the high-performance vibe and adds to the warmth. In term of trends, they duo turns heads with their sharp suit fur coat, and the astrakhan fur scarves used under the lapels of the suits was a touch of genius.
Valentino still make highly technologically and hand produced clothesas the clothes that evoke the everlasting primitive side of menswear fashion. Valentino crisp-white collar shirts seen throughout all the looks of the collection, the perfect peeking knots of the midnight-noir silk ties, the checked suits, the black wing-tips and ankle boots with signature studs, which are becoming Valentino signature detail on accessories. Even we see a pair of dark denim jeans that made the show, surely a couture level of production.
Sport, dynamic, elegant, and luxury, all at once. Representing a new form of style integration that connotes Valentino timeless history in fashion. Valentino marked the timeless steps into the current timeline thanks to their creative directors at the maison. Valentino has created a buzz, now imagine the impact, pleasure and luxury essence of Valentino's A/W 2013 2014 collection.

MUGLER.
Mugler at Paris Fashion Week Men.
The designer for Mugler who is Nicola Formichetti designer the clothing collection for Autumn Winter 2013 2014. Mugler did not take ispiration from bleak dark winters nights or rather maybe did, as glow in the dark bright neon colours would become highly visiable and effective. The colours which shone during the Mugler clothes show were Pink, Green and Blue although black was also used in the creating of the garments. The look of the Mugler clothes line was reminding me of something, workwear and uniform or uniformed work-wear. I really like the utilitarian styled designs by Mugler which were duller in colour, the suits which are available are fetching. Mugler's designer's have created exciting 1980's fashions with illuminious clothing but where is the terry towelling socks. Any how Thierry Mugler has created fashion for a while maybe this collection shines to alert him, Over Here ! or ... Beam Me Up Scotty !

CHRISTIAN LACROIX.
Christian Lacroix at Paris Fashion Week Men.
Christian Lacroix designer Sacha Walckhoff had designed the Autumn Winter 2013 2014 clothes collection which was displayed on the runway catwalk of Paris Fashion Week for Men. Christian Lacroix has created an interesting mixture of textile and design in his innovativeness to create fashions which are new and exciting, fresh and creative. The Christian Lacroix clothes line for A/W 2013 2014 had structured tailored pinstripe sits with distinguished detail at the rear,geometric designs on shirts. Dark blue denims and denim fabric material with a boldness, and the stitching was a contrast in white to be admired and seen. The colours of black and white were again seen on show, as this is a colder months clothing line it is not that unusual, but the prints themselves were attractive, Lacroix had black & white checked oufits and also had the splashes of black and white which resembled paint thrown but with a christian cross, subtle in it's appearance. The paint look was carried onto blue and white garments in an extention of this design. Christian Lacroix also made a return to the catwalk runway for the all-in-one workwear boilersuit. Loud and eyecatching are the words for the suit which was black and yellow striped, like a hazerdous sign. Christian Lacroix was not buttoned up the back although in this recent collection, the designer for Christian Lacroix, Sacha Walckhoff, had zips to zip up the rear of some garments. Zipped Up The Back.

RAF SIMONS.
Raf Simons at Paris Fashion Week Men.
The collection walked on the runway catwalk for Raf Simons Autumn Winter 2013 2014 during Paris Fashion Week in 2013. Raf Simons was walking i should say running, as Raf Simons jogged our minds into a collaboration with sportswear brand company Adidas, the trainers or training shoes were hip & trendy. The clothes by Raf Simons were retro futuristic, managing to combine two elements which matter, to establish the desired look. The clothes by designer Raf Simons were cutting as the collection held style and design paired with an enthusiastic colour range and print wear. While looking at the clothes from some distance you would not have been able to make out the designs which embelished the clothes, the knitwear was well innovative in it's creative design. The patterns are upon closer inspection are actually various characters, that when placed together in this format resemble a camo or camoflague pattern or random design feature. Suits and trainers have always been miles apart for most people, however i mself remember a time in years gone by when i rocked my Adidas zx600 runners with dress trousers or a suit, i would still today wear my training shoes or runner's on an occasion, and i can tell you, i bounce.

3.1PHILLIP LIM.
3.1 Phillip Lim at Paris Fashion Week Men.
The archetype for 3.1 Phillip Lim‘s Autumn/Winter 2013 2014 presentation may have been a man and his Harley, but Phillip Lim and his journey seemed to take him far from the much travelled roads of biker gangs and motorcycle groups and far into someplace somewhere more exotic and chic. Leather jackets and pants were patched and striped, while embroidered details and ethnic-looking prints on pants and knits suggested trips to foreign lands. The military field jacket paired with a patterned knit and stripped, patchwork pants recalled The Motorcycle Diaries more than it did anything from Mad Max. Still, it was the array of leather tops and trouser jeans that were most compelling pieces, topped off by the black leather pullover with side zips that was shown with caramel leather trousers jean, zip-front boots, and a suede backpack.

ISSEY MIYAKE MEN.

Issey Miyake Men at Paris Mens Fashion Week.

The Autumn Winter clothing collection by Issey Miyake was revealed on the runway catwalk of Paris Fashion Week for men. Issey Miyake has constructed the clothes using fabrics and materials which are unique to Miyake's style of design and creation. Issey Miyake constructs this collection of clothes with a sportswear vibe, although the clothing might not actually be worn whilst playing a particular sport, the design and style of the clothes are refered to as sports-wear clothing. The clothes which Issey Miyake offers to us are made utilising technical innovation for creation, one of the current trends is metallics. The Issey Miyake clothing featured, planned designs followed, and plans foiled.

RICK OWENS.

Rick Owens at Paris Mens Fashion Week.

The runway catwalk of Paris Fashion Week for Men showed the Autumn Winter clothing collection for designer Rick Owens, made an elaborate showing of his 2013 Autumn/Winter collection on the Parisian runway today, gothic street style. Sporting a variety of thickly belted wrap front coats, high and flat Asian collars, puffy and asymmetric biker jackets with iconic moon boots to complete the look, Rick Owen’s models stood out with their wild teased rocker hair-dos and disgruntled expressions. The contemporary Californian designer brought all his trademark moves this season, from the monotone palette to the skinny leather pants and bulky fur boots. An extra element of fur accompanied the collection though, evidenced by luxe mink and shearling sections.

LOUIS VUITTON.

Louis Vuitton at Paris Mens Fashion Week.

Style director Kim Jones delivers a winning catwalk show in Paris fashion week, taking inspiration from gentlemen explorers. Snow leopards, the Himalayas, suitcase-backpacks, pounding techno and the Chapman Brothers, next season the Louis Vuitton man is a gentleman explorer heading out on a surreal yet super luxurious trip.

Kim Jones, style director of menswear for the world's best-selling luxury brand, is only on his fourth collection at the label and yet is totally in his stride. Louis Vuitton presented the Autumn Winter 2013 2014 clothing collection for men during Paris Fashion Week, he delivered another winner of a runway catwalk show, which saw the label's luggage and clothing featuring a specially commissioned print of cartoonish animals by artists Jake and Dinos Chapman. The Louis Vuitton fashion show was staged at the Grand Palais, a large black-and-white photo of the Himalayas hung at the end of the catwalk. As the lights went down the sort of mist you might see at the top of a mountain drifted on to the long, glossy black catwalk before booming dance music kicked in. The first model strode out wearing a double-breasted coat of cashmere and mink, in the runway catwalk show there was a lot of fur in this collection and was needle-punched with the motif of a snow leopard. Animal patterns are gathering momentum for autumn/winter 2013, with labels, including Burberry and Versace, also showing them on the catwalk.

In his short tenure, Jones has developed a recognisable silhouette at Vuitton. On Thursday, strong-shouldered outerwear, specifically elegant belted coats that have a typically nonchalant but manly glamour about them, were once again on the catwalk. Ditto tech nylon, Michelin Man-style puffer jackets often worn slickly over suiting complete with furry trims.
Knitwear is an area reportedly performing well for men at Vuitton, and in Louis Vuitton show, a burgundy and grey cashmere knit featured crocodile stitching, proving to be a prime example of how Jones weaves expensive fabrics into garments without them looking obviously showy.
With travel being central to the Vuitton brand image, Jones drew inspiration from the Himalayas, particularly Bhutan. "I always start with the idea of someone going somewhere," explained Jones. "So I was looking at French explorers and how they went to look for a Shangri-La. We took all that city suiting and mixed it with the Bhutanese traditional fabrics," he said.
Suiting, from double-breasted jackets to three-button styles, featuring mismatched checks and stripes, were inspired by Bhutanese national dress and crafted from fabrics specially made in traditional English mills.
Marc Jacobs, the designer who Jones works under, was backstage straight after the show to offer congratulations, as were rapper Kanye West and Louise Wilson, professor of London's Central St Martins, where Jones trained. David Attenborough, one of Jones's heroes, is also a constant source of inspiration said the designer. "I love him so much. He's the most travelled man in the world, so he's perfect to always get inspiration from." From deluxe silk jacquard dressing gowns to carpet bags, the Chapman brothers' commissioned print added arty bite to the show. Jones described the print as "all about those crazy, weird and wonderful animals that you have in the Himalayas, which have been twisted by the Chapman brothers so they look scary-cute." Travelling Animal Magnatizum.

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER.

Jean Paul Gaultier at Paris Mens Fashion Week.

The designer collection Jean-Paul Gaultier hit the runway catwalk of Paris Fashion Week for men, the clothing by Jean Paul Gaultier is for the coming season next years Autumn Winter 2013 2014 collection. Jean Paul Gaultier does do extreme and in this case it was not window shopping or window dressing but window undressing, the show in Paris was neon backlite kind of like a Soho sex shop in London or in fact any sex shop in the world, but it does attract attention and so did the Jean Paul Gaultier show. The clothes which Gaultier presented at this fashion show were a mixture of styles and designs, from double breasted suits to more casual suits and then the Gaultier type hype clothing would step up. The Jean Paul Gaultier clothes collection had some nicee detailed touches as Gaultier does, the attention he pays to his use of fabric material through to the cut and manufacture is definitely wonderous. The models undressed some of their garments to reveal clothing underneath, phew ! It's gettin Hot in here !

YOHJI YAMAMOTO.
Yohji Yamamoto at Paris Mens Fashion Week.
This Autumn Winter 2013 2014 clothing collection designed by Yohji Yamamoto was unveiled at Paris Fashion Week for men. Yohji Yamamoto has in his past clothes collections created with a flair and decadent reminder of style and individuality, in this Yohji Yamamoto Autumn/Winter 2013 2014 clothing collection he once again brings to the fore his passion for fashion. Yohji Yamamoto knows how to have fun and playful in his fashion clothing collections and is a most talented master tailor designer. In this Yohji Yamamoto clothes line he is Hair Today, a man of distinctive taste and astute gentlemen, decadent dandies, separating the men from the boys with accessorizing the fashion clothes show with the flambouant facial hair, moustaches and beards of all type style and design which the male models sported splendidly. The A/W 2013-14 Yohji Yamamoto show presented clothing in double breasted suits, tweed, zebra print, tartan, kilts, skirts, jackets coats and trousers. For Yohji Yamamoto fashion faux or au naturale.

DRIES VAN NOTEN.
Dries van Noten at Paris Mens Fashion Week.
The collection for Autumn Winter season of the years 2013 2014 was shown at Paris Fashion Week for men, by designer Dries Van Noten. The clothing by Dries van Noten are noteable due to the designers self styling of the garment which is wearable comfort. When it comes to menswear, Dries Van Noten rarely plays by the rules.

But even by his own standards, he set himself a tough challenge for autumn-winter 2013-2014, aiming to produce clothes for men “that may not ever been in their wardrobe.”

Considering that one main theme of the show was the use of night-time pyjamas for day jackets and outerwear, in this challenge the Belgian designer most definitely succeeded. That is, of course, provided there are no sleepwalkers out there with black, orange and paisley pyjamas in their closet.

The result of this unorthodoxy? Astoundingly, one of the most elegant shows Van Noten has done in recent memory. It’s owed mainly to how the pyjama style was worked: luxuriously, in soft and heavy brushed jacquards, cashmere and double quilted silks and velvets. It gave many of the looks a regal quality, albeit a very hip one. As ever, Van Noten used contradictions as the dynamic of his wardrobe. The more feminine types of fabrics and tonal colours, as well as tight pants, contrasted with boyish, slouchy forms of the loose jackets and sweaters, creating plays on volume.

The “special and precious are often disguised as the ordinary.” Here, we saw this paradox.

JUNYA WATANABE.

Junya Watanabe at Paris Mens Fashion Week.

The clothing collection which was being shown for the seasons of Autumn Winter 2013 2014 at Paris Fashion Week for men by fashion designer Junya Watanabe were brilliant creations of an innovative mind at work. Junya Watanabe takes us on a journey with his brilliance for the arts. Junya Watanabe has in this current clothes collection brought the classic actor from the silver screen silent movie films back to our plasma LCD TV television screens, in the DesignerFashionStyle of Charlie Chaplin, designer fashion style. The star of this fashion show was Junya Watanabe and his inspiration Charlie Chaplin, whilst Charlie's movies may of been silent this clothes line speaks volumes.

ANN DEMEULEMEESTER.

Ann Demeulemeester at Paris Mens Fashion Week.

The clothing collection for the season Autumn Winter 2013 2014 was on show by Ann Demeulemeester at Paris Mens Fashion Week. Ann Demeulemeester produced a runway catwalk show collection which maintained her standard, quirky, original, obsessive, compulsive and stylish. Ann Demeulemeester rarely uses bright colours in her clothes making empire of the mysterious, although white n grey but mostly black are used in making her dreams of macabre reality. At Paris on the runway catwalk during the Ann Demeulemeester clothes show the male models walked in hats and veils, although that was not all that the model's wore. The clothing which Ann Demeulemeester had in her show in Paris was of singular individuality with character but composed to the proof of self belief. A clothes line which has Ann Demeulemeester give us poetry in clothing, romancing the darkness, victorian quaker gothic. I was rather surprized to see a baroque print on a few of the outfits but it was pleasant, but this look did not steal the limelight from the main discription of her clothing. The footwear was predominantly knee high lace up boots either in matte or patent finish leather, nice one boover ! Boots to go !

MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA.

Maison Martin Margiela at Paris Fashion Week.

The forth coming season of Autumn Winter 2013 2014 had designer Maison Martin Margiela present the clothesline at Paris Fashion Week for men. The Maison Martin Margiela clothing line displayed Maison Martin Margiela formal tailoring alongside the art of deconstruction, patched together fabric material, which is interesting and fascinates it's fans.

It was the best of both worlds, balancing sleek tailoring and their signature patched together garments, Martin Margiela approached the autumn/winter 2013 2014 season with a polished frame of reference. Dressed in hip rich Autumn fall colours, suiting easily delivered a Parisian elegance, while piece together furs provided a rugged alternative. In the midst of these two variants, the man of Maison Martin Margiela was at peace and in comfort, aah, spending his downtime in wide cut trousers, leather jackets and cable-knit sweaters. Rounding out the show with two patched ponchos in leather, the collection was easily a working marriage of classic motifs and modern elements. I have a ponchant for that poncho.

 

CERRUTI.

Cerutti at Paris Mens Fashion Week.

The clothing collection which was on show during the runway catwalk for designer Cerutti during Paris Fashion Week for men was for the seasons Autumn Winter collection for 2013 2014. The designer clothes made by Cerutti are simple with quality. Cerutti has performed exceptional to stay foccused to the vision so as to design then create a fashionable timeless quality piece of clothing. The Cerruti clothing brand label shows clear focus, on requirement from valued clients and customer base.

COMME DES GARCONS HOMME PLUS.

Comme Des Garcons Homme Plus at Paris Mens Fashion Week..

The clothing which was on the runway catwalk of Paris fashion Week for men was to show the Autumn Winter 2013 2014 clothesline from designer brand fashion label Comme Des Garcons. This Comme Des Garcons clothes collection for A/W 2013-2014 sure puts you in the pink of things. If you go down to the woods today your sure of a big surprize ! This time of year is when the somber colours or Autumnal Fall coloured garments fill the shelves of shop stores, but not so at Comme Des Garcons, it's more of an easter Bunny Extravaganza, Eggstravaganza in an easter palette of colour, pink, yellow and of a manner of shades gracefully hopped along the runway catwalk. Comme Des Garcons has Bugs Bunny Rabbit & Mickey Mouse or maybe Minnie as adorning headwear or it could be a flashback to that film Donnie Darko. Maybe to symbolise Alice in Wonderland or Through The Looking Glass. The designs which Comme Des Garcons used to create their newest clothing range was like designer Rei Kawakubo had looked through the looking glass and found a 1970's fabric materials shop which also sold accessories like pom poms. Hey Mickey ! 

GIVENCHY.

Givenchy at Mens Paris Fashion Week.
It is time for the Autumn/Winter 2013/2014 clothing collection designed by Givenchy and being shown on the runway catwalk of Paris Fashion Week for men. Designer for Givenchy, Riccardo Tisci, designed this menswear collection for A/W2013-14, the Givenchy clothes show shone next to hundreds of candles placed uniformally and laid out in two concentric circles, the candle giving the fashion show a romantic feeling vibe. Like Roman torches, the lit candles they light the way for the models who filed by in mainly black and white looks.
The references for designs were subtle but unmistakable, the square breastplate, like photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe printed on T-shirts, sweaters and tank tops. Original.
Winter bubble jackets, tied round the waist, which fell in the shape of a legionary's skirt from Roman time, sometimes on top of shorts almost to the groin, that exposed the models legs.
Footwear like leather shoes shined provocatively with a silver armour band, while combat gear was also evoked in crudely stitched padded biker jackets and sweaters. To the colleseum, fight. Ancient Rome did indeed come to Paris albeit with a contemporary, even futuristic edge. There was, however, a real sense of continuity in this new theme. Tisci's signature gothic and black heavy palette was used. He enjoys providing clothes which are unbusy, clean and often minimalist, with a tight silhouette. For Autumn-Winter, it was not revolution, but evolution, Roman-style.
The Givenchy clothes line handles classic timeless design & creation in it's stride, Givenchy although gifts us with classic designer fashion style, Givenchy also opens our eyes to realize that accepting what fashion offers, then taking it for granted, or i should maybe say accepting it, for what it usually is, but then surprize, when we are presented with some designed creation which really sparkles our inner self. Rottweiler.

JOHN GALLIANO.

John Galliano at Mens Paris Fashion Week.
Many moon's have past and the sun is shining, for fashion designer John Galliano is back, after taking leave of some might say his sences, John Galliano has in his past fashion collections created quite a name for himself as a talented fashion designer, whether working creatively for his own brand company label or another fashion house, John Galliano in person had vision and talent with innovation and creativity leading a trend. Now designer Bill Gaytten's creations are at the helms gate as Bill Gaytten is designer at John Galliano. For the Autumn Winter seasons clothing collection for 2013 2014 Bill Gaytten has given to the Paris runway catwalk a look which is inpired by his muse for these fashions, the artist Joseph Beuys. With the male models wearing trilby hats, short baggy trousers and a comfort blanket style jacket, it is the relaxed slouch look with added avant garde, there were other looks on show which worked well as a whole collection, being cohesive though not uniformal in style or design as a complete clothing collection. Designer Bill Gaytten was spurred on creatively after seeing an installation by artist, Beuys, who died in 1986, and was famous for his slouchy style. The male models walked down the Paris catwalk with a swagger in loose and flowing coats and jackets often complemented with oversized turtlenecks in a masculine, muted palette of camel, grey, burgundy-wine, olive and black. There were also several takes on the hats, like the trilby, some with Stetson dents, that came across with theatrical panache. But it was not just Beuys' personal style at work here. Bill Gaytten also said he was inspired by Beuys use of material, in particular the contrast of felt with the unexpected. Providing this contrast, fluorescent neon teddy boy shoes jarred nicely as they accompanied a classically tailored suit. Some of the free flowing looks hit the right spot, with the best coming in the form of a jacket with one lapel that flowed down as a scarf. However, the theatricality got the better of some of the ensembles, like an exuberantly printed jacket that was just whack busy, but on a personal level, i like it, although as a whole cohesive collection of clothing it makes this clothes collection slightly lose the themed look, but when on a plain coloured garment especially of a muted palette in colour the theme works, Beuy style. Backstage at the John Galliano fashion show in Paris, Bill Gaytten would not comment on news that the fashion house founder, John Galliano, has been invited to return to fashion for the first time since a drunken rant at a Paris cafe which then caused him to leave his eponymous label. Now designer fashion house, Oscar de la Renta has invited John Galliano, himself, to spend time in the studio for Oscar da la Renta by de la Renta's company.Who knows what the future holds.

DIOR HOMME.

Dior Homme at Mens Paris Fashion Week.

There was no far-flung concept, gimmick or muse, unlike most Paris shows, simply because none was needed. Veronique Nichanian who's been at the helm of this family-run business an incredible 22 years now is an expert at letting the clothes do the talking. The fashion clothes by hermes had looks which ranged from on-trend loose but structured naval trenches, to short peacoats, tight black calfskin pants, via turtlenecks, jacquard silk pullovers and fitted double breasted tuxedo in black wool and mohair which were fit for a prince. The unity in the diverse collection was to be found in the sumptuous fabrics. Hermes uses fabric & material like reading a luxury encyclopedia, double-face cashmere, alpaca, winter gabardine, ribbed nubuck calfskin, shearling, chiffon crocodile, mink and velvety cotton suede, to name but a few.
Sitting on the front row, former Hermes CEO Patrick Thomas, tried to put his finger on the enduring allure of the house — one of fashion's biggest success stories of the last decade.
Was there a secret?
"No, no. There's no secret. But it's not about ostentation, pretention, or trying to show you've got money," Thomas told The Associated Press.
"It's just the simplicity, and excellence of the fabrics."
